![Nexus 6P Case, RhinoShield [CrashGuard] Heavy Duty 11 ft Drop Protection [High Durability] Thin Lightweight Protective Bumper - Perfect w/Skin [Great for NFC and Fingerprint Scanner] - Black](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sURsFrAXL.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg)
This is a great minimalistic bumper case for the Nexus 6p. I like the design of this case a lot since it has an open back design and you can see the nice back of the phone still with its aluminum back. Or if you have a skin on the phone then you can see that and not hide how nice the phone looks. This case also keeps the large bulky cases away with it just being around the phone and not making it overly huge in your hands. The rubber grip around the phone keeps it nicely in my hands and I don't have any slipping problems at all with it. There is lots of room around the ports like the headphone and usb ports to allow bigger connectors. The power and volume button are a little bit stiff but I'm sure they will wear in over time and make it more easy to press. This case still keeps the edges of the phone protected but I wouldn't trust this if its going to land on a uneven surface like rocks or a edge of a table since it can get around the bumpers and cause damage. The case also keeps the phone raised off of any flat surface keeping the screen when facing down off and also the back with the screen facing up off the surface preventing any scratching you may be worried about. With this being a bumper case and likely with most cases you will get some random lint or other stuff between the phone and case crack which I just blow out or clean off every now and then.
Overall this is a great case if you don't drop your phone a whole lot and would like a simple yet effective case for your Nexus 6p. It keeps the phone looking very nice
Pros:
- Simple and minimalist
- Protects the edges very well
- Nice rubber grip
- Large ports for headphone and USB
- Open back to see and feel the nice aluminum
- Stays level on flat surfaces
Cons:
- Buttons at first can be a bit stiff but will wear in
- Random lint and dirt that will get between the case and phone
- No protection for the back

Dissatisfied with product, returned
I ordered this rhinoshield bumper case because my girlfriend has one on her s6 and ive liked the sleek look and protection it offers her. Upon receiving my case for my Nexus 6p I was dissatisfied at the overall fit and finish especially for a case that's priced so high. In the end I returned the product for a refund.Upon installing it I noticed some major issues that other reviews have also mentioned. The first issue is the two sides that span on the longer sides of the phone have too much give. They flex too much and allow the sides to be spongy instead of maintaining a snug like fit. This was not at all prevalent on my gfs s6 case. The 2nd major issue was how hard it made the buttons feel. It made all the soft keys on the phone require a fair amount of more pressure in order to press them down. It was most noticeable on the power key though, it required the most pressure and made it seem quite stiff. A user here noted that you can remedy this by notching the backside of the case, but should this be necessary on a $20 case? I wouldn't think so. Last but not least was the overall fitment and protection that the case offered. The case didn't feel good in the hand at all. I think part of the reason was because the lip on the backside of the case was not all one specific size. It seems that they decided to mirror the hump from the camera and create a second hump on the bottom of the phone, but leaving the center of the case narrow. I don't understand why they didn't just have the back lip offset all at one equal distance. For the same reason that the center of the phone is narrow on the backside, I think it also provides a bit of vulnerability. It has close to a paper thin layer of space on the center of the phone, which can easily be negated by the spongy long sides having a lot of give.I have attached some pictures so you guys can hopefully see what I'm talking about.As stated above I ended up dissatisfied with the product for these reasons. For a well recognized name in cell phone protection I think they fumbled the ball with this product.

Best case for any phone, period. I'm a case fanatic, and I once I bought this one, I can't stomach switching to another case. I have tried so many cases, including: spigen, supcase, moko, and verus, this is my favorite. It's so minimalist and provides the best drop protection. I have a dbrand skin on the back of my phone, and it shows through because this case is only covering the sides of the phone, but protects the phone from any angle drops. Very light weight, and the matte finish provides really great grip. Another plus is that the matte finish doesn't pick up fingerprints and also doesn't show scratches easily. Ports are a bit small, but so far I haven't needed to remove the case to connect something to my phone. My only gripe with the case is the buttons. Now the buttons aren't horrible, but they are a bit stiff when you first get it. After a while they will soften up a bit. I still feel some stiffness, but I hope with time they will loosen up some more. Best protection, smallest size, decent price and looks good, what else do you need. I would highly recommend this case and obviously would buy it again for my Nexus 6p.

The USB Type-C cable that came in the box with my nexus 6p barely fits this case. Any cable actually makes the case flex and of course it makes the cable too tight on the phone, which might (hopefully not) end up damaging the port. That's the only thing that has me worried and that's why I'm giving it just three stars.
Also, the case is loose on both sides. This is not a big deal since I don't usually pick up my phone or hold it in a way that makes this issue evident.
The buttons. They are really, REALLY hard to press, specially the first weeks of use. I don't know if I got used to it, or if they actually became easier with time, but they are still really hard compared to other cases I have.
The design of this case is actually really nice. I love the fact that I can see the back of my device and still feel like my phone is well protected against drops. It feels good in the hand, but there are cases that perform better on this subject, since this one actually makes the phone wider.
Pros:
Design
Protection
Cons:
Price
Really hard buttons
Loose sides
Small USB cut-out, might damage the USB port at some point

The fingerprint scanner remains easy to access since there is nothing in the way

Great bumper without adding too much bulk, yet very protective!
